These stone wallsbring back memories.How I wished they would fallthis barrier between us.Yet,they are all I have leftto remind meof every step I tookas I turned to leave.Too late to say,to come backwith tears in my eyes.Asking for forgiveness,when time had alreadydecided for me.I made a choiceand later onI regret.Somethings cannot be mend.Shattered glass,pieces I tried to pick up.They slip from my grasp,like the chances I ignored.Foolishly I thoughfriendship could be boughtwith just one smile.Now I've learnedhow early scorn and rejectioncould leave a scar in someone else's heart.Not so easily forgotten.
